Marlo Hampton Deems Kenya Moore a Clown, and Fans Clown Friend of ‘RHOA’ in Return

Marlo Hampton is clearly no fan of Kenya Moore, and the Bravolebrity has recently shown that in an Instagram post she’s since deleted.

The longtime friend of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” appears to have recently uploaded a throwback photo of herself and designer Max Azria to her Instagram page. And it included former “RHOA” peach holder Moore, although that’s not initially obvious.

“The man himself #MaxAzria” the initial Instagram post read. It also featured a massive clown emoji over Moore’s face.

When the screenshot was picked up by “RHOA” fan account @housewivesofatl, they included a photo from the event but still obscured Moore in the picture.

“I love Marlo PERIOD 😩🤣 #RHOA #MarloHampton (yes, I blurred out the photo on the right. If you’re smart you would know who it is lol…if not go google it)” they added in the caption.

A glimpse of an April 2018 tweet from Hampton reveals the photo was snapped at New York Fashion Week that year and Moore was indeed the third party in the picture. Hampton made her problems with Moore known at that time as well.

“You been in the industry all these years, but little ole Marlo’s Simply Marlo LLC got you invited to your first NYFW show, took you back stage to meet the designer Max Azria, used my car service and photographer to give you the #marlotta experience. #rhoa,” she said following Moore telling her off at the season 10 reunion that year.

As for Hampton’s present-day issues with Moore, Hampton is one of only two stars on “RHOA” — the other being Shamari DeVoe — that her longtime friend Nene Leakes did not unfollow. Leakes took issue with some of the cast’s opinions at the season 11 reunion taping the other week. She also rehashed her problem with Cynthia Bailey inviting Moore to her Seagram’s Escapes beverage launch without letting Leakes know her pal may show up.

So Hampton’s deeming Moore, whom she said on “Watch What Happens Live” last Sunday she doesn’t “have a relationship with,” a clown may indicate she’s Team Nene all the way.

Meanwhile, fans have been clowning Hampton for her move.

“Kenya keeps these girls so pressed.”

“Kenya u r the queen when you got ppl stressing in their beds 😂😂😂😱😱😱😱😱😱😱ur a bad bitch Kenyamoore yes get them 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡”

“She could of just cropped her out how immature.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
